Yeah, I ran a test where I substituted a huge switch statement with all of
the operations inlined for the function calls and I went from 27 seconds to
21 seconds on the benchmark.

Subject: Op cost models
Here are the costs in seconds for running 100 million iterations of each
op. This only really makes sense on *my* machine, but it gives you an
idea of what sort of tradeoffs there are. Given that the difference
between
most ops is negligible, I'd suggest that a lot of work is still
happening
in the despatch.
